BlackCat™ is your central command center for managing large and disparate silos of data across an enterprise. With its rich yet simple display, BlackCat lets users manipulate and manage files via metadata, instead of having to open or even know about every single file that matches their search or retrieval criteria. BlackCat serves as the user-friendly front end to PowerHouse™, Valora’s AutoClassification platform.

Following PowerHouse’s analysis of virtually unlimited volumes of corporate data with unmatched classification and disposition capabilities, BlackCat data presentation delivers clean, easily managed data storage, reporting and analytics in a secure, private, web-browser environment with no client-side software requirements. Documents and files are accessible to BlackCat either temporarily on their way to other hosted environments, or permanently, as a sophisticated-yet-simple records or litigation document repository. BlackCat embraces an elegant content services modelwithout the need for an ECM or DMS.

BlackCat is not a large-scale manual review platform, but rather a reporting and auditing mechanism specifically for complex analytics processing. BlackCat is especially optimized for projects requiring heavy automated data analysis and processing, rather than mostly linear or manual workflows. BlackCat has been especially tuned to optimize and display PowerHouse’s unique analytics results, such as graphical representations of who communicates with whom, and how different Issues, People, and Document Types manifest over time.

Because repository hosting typically occurs near the end of a long chain of automated, hybrid and manual document processing activities, Valora has ensured full and complete integration between BlackCat and our critically acclaimed PowerHouse. This allows us to run processing, analytics, quality control and auditing processes simultaneously with migration and hosting efforts in BlackCat, offering a completely scalable, parallel-processing workflow model for high-volume, complex data scenarios.
